endicia

This gem allows you to connect to your Endicia API to print USPS labels. It is in no way meant to be exhaustive–fork away!

Configuration

You’ll need an endicia.yml file in config, with: AccountID (6 digits) RequesterID (string–you have to request this from Endicia) PassPhrase (string) and optionally Test (set this to true while in testing and/or in development env) Additionally, you may want to set a few defaults like your address: FromCompany FromCity FromState FromPostalCode ReturnCompany ReturnCity ReturnState ReturnCode

You can also specify any of the options that Endicia allows for ‘GetPostageLabel’ as defaults. Most of them you’ll want to pass in, but you might find it convenient to switch the default image format globally, for instance. Any options you pass in directly will override that defaults in the config file.

Cheers!

Usage

There’s only one method–get_label.

Ex. Endicia.get_label(=> RECIPIENT ZIP, :ToAddress1 => RECIPIENT ADDRESS, :ToCity => RECIPIENT CITY, :ToState => RECIPIENT STATE, :PartnerTransactionID => GENERALLY THE ORDER (OR SOME MODEL) ID, :PartnerCustomerID => GENERALLY CUSTOMER/USER ID, :MailClass => SHIPPING METHOD, :WeightOz => INTEGER WEIGHT)

Contributing to endicia

  • Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet

  • Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it

  • Fork the project

  • Start a feature/bugfix branch

  • Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution

  • Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

  • Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
